Achieving better engagement with care and support for young people living with HIV in Australia: a mixed-method enquiry.

Young people aged 18-29 are considered "adult" within the Australian HIV health service context. However, evidence increasingly defines this age group as distinct from the broader adult population such that the needs of young people living with HIV may be overlooked in the context of HIV service design and delivery. This analysis draws on the Young + Positive study, a national study in Australia that documented the perspectives of young people (aged 18-29) living with HIV.

Cryogenic sample eject system for electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometers.

We present a fully automated cryogenic sample insertion and ejection system for use with low-temperature EPR probes. We show how the system can be implemented on a conventional EPR spectrometer and that ejection and insertion is reliably possible at temperatures down to 10 K. Furthermore, we investigate the glass properties of a 0.

Individualizing Antiretroviral Therapy in the Older Patient.

Owing to widespread availability of potent and tolerable antiretroviral therapy, life expectancy of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has significantly increased. Consequently, the population of people with HIV are ageing, with over 50% over the age of 50 years, and it is expected that 25% will be over the age of 65 years by 2030. People diagnosed with HIV at older age tend to have more advanced disease, and may already be experiencing comorbidities that will influence the choice of initial antiretroviral treatment.

Challenges of HIV Management in an Aging Population.

Purpose Of Review: Potent, well tolerated and simple to administer antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in significant improvement in life expectancy for people with HIV. The increased lifespan does not necessarily equate to improved healthspan with increased rates of comorbidities, frailty and geriatric syndrome experienced by older people with HIV. This review explores the challenges in prevention and management of multimorbidity and geriatric syndrome with the ultimate goal of improving health and quality of life through holistic care.

Age-related clonal hematopoiesis and HIV infection are associated with geriatric outcomes: The ARCHIVE study.

While HIV infection and clonal hematopoiesis (CH) have been linked with inflammatory dysregulation and an increased risk of aging-related comorbidities, their relationship with clinical geriatric syndromes has not been well defined. In the Age-related Clonal Haematopoiesis in an HIV Evaluation Cohort (ARCHIVE) study (NCT04641013), we measure associations between HIV and CH and geriatric syndromes. Of 345 participants (176 with HIV and 169 without HIV), 23% had at least one mutation associated with CH: 27% with HIV and 18% without HIV (p = 0.
